DEL MAR, CA

Del Mar is a great surfing beach, and, as a tourist town, it is what Laguna Beach was a few decades ago--charming, small, unhurried. We stayed in the Del Mar Motel, right on the beach, and were able to walk over the railway tracks into town for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was a nice change from the congestion and bustle of the Los Angeles area, and the air was clean. We had temperatures as high as 90 during the days we stayed in Del Mar, so the beach was packed with people grateful for summer's extension. We're told that at specially low tides, one could walk the beach from Del Mar right to San Diego.
